Presentation Transcript

  1. BECAT Workshop Tom Meyer Department of Natural Resources and the Environment 16 May 2013

  2. Animal Movement Modeling

  3. GPS Tracking • Collars on • Mountain lions • Wolves • Grizzly bears • Elk • Deer • Reliable horizontal coordinates • Resource utilization • Home range modeling

  4. One collar, real data

  5. Our newest team member

  6. Moving-Resting Process • NSF Proposal (Mathematical Biology) • Utility-Distribution Modeling Using New Moving/Resting Processes • Pozdynakov, V.; Meyer, T.; Wang, Y.; Yan, J (in review) On Modeling Animal Movements Using Brownian Motion with Measurement Error. Ecology • Yan et al. (in review) A Moving-Resting Process with an Embedded Brownian Motion for Animal Movements. Population Ecology.

  7. The discrete UD

  8. The discrete UD • Honors boundaries • Is temporally explicit • Gives rise to home range as an emergent concept • Immediately useful for resource utilization studies • Has computational complexity of 7n so heuristics, data structures, algorithms, and lots of cycles are needed

  9. Tom Meyer • NRE • Thomas.meyer@uconn.edu • 6-0145
